  • There is no sign of any repairs being carried out . First reported in August. The path is breaking up more and with winter upon us it is only going to get worse with the icy conditions. The entire path that links from Butts Close to Portway is in urgent need of repair. It is an accident waiting to happen. It's only a matter of time before an elderly resident trips and suffers a severe injury.
